Arpan Dass - Best shape of my life

Arpan Daas

I started training with Kirk in February 2020. Iโ€™ve been training since I was 18, and Iโ€™d put on a fair bit of muscle over that time but was just nowhere near thecondition I wanted to be in.

I thought I was doing everything rightโ€ฆtraining 5 days a week, eating what I thought was healthy, protein shakes and avoiding cardio cos I thought it would lose me gains.

I had been following Kirk on socials for a while and saw he was looking for new clients so I took the plunge. 2 weeks in, just as I was starting to show some sign of getting leaner lockdown hit. Gyms closed, I was gutted.

At the same time my work as a doctor got really tough, long shifts, more nights, sicker patients. Felt like every obstacle was against me. I was this close to quitting, but Kirk quickly messaged us โ€œwhat kit have you got, and what can you get hold of, weโ€™ll make it workโ€.

Got hold of a couple dumbbells and made the sessions work from my front room. Over time refined my diet massively, increased my daily steps and even started running.

Simply put โ€“ my self awareness, knowledge and standards have gone to a completely different level.

18 months later (10 of those without any gym access) Iโ€™m in the best shape of my life, stronger than Iโ€™ve ever been in bench, deadlift and squats, and simply couldnโ€™tbelieve the progress photos.

I am now ready to up the calories and get in superhero shape!

With Kirk, his team and the Built To Last community there are no limits!โ€™
